What Albania may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Passport valid 3+ months beyond intended stay
  • Recent passport photo with white background
  • Hotel reservation or accommodation proof
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of sufficient funds (EUR 50/day minimum)
  • Travel insurance covering medical expenses
